Morgan Kate had another really good day! She did swing a bit on her oxygen and she had a few heart rate drops, but overall it was a good day. Miss Rhonda, her awesome day nurse, helped Morgan Kate and I "roo" for a little over an hour. I would have held her longer, but she was getting a little fussy and I didn't want to wear her out. She is continuing to tolerate her new feeding schedule and has no residual (left over food that was not digested). As long as she can tolerate her feedings she will hopefully continue to gain weight. Her super night nurse, Miss Kim, gave her a bath and weighed her. She weighed in at 2.9 pounds!! Travis and I were both super excited. When she was born she weighed 1.12, but actually lost two ounces which put her at 1.10. Therefore, when she gains just ONE more ounce and makes it to 2.10, she will have gained a pound since birth!!!

I am so thankful to God for blessing Travis and I with this amazing little girl. He has taken care of her and us since the minute of her conception. Each and every day I look at her and think how lucky I am to be her mommy. I know we still have a long road ahead of us, but I can't help but think of the day that we can bring her home. Until then I am fortunate, extremely fortunate, to be able to touch her, hold her and kangaroo with her. I can't wait to be able to give her a bottle or hold her for an extended period of time.
